Hi there,
To those of you interested, I modified my x-launcher program to work
with a stock cygwin-xfree install, without needing an install program.
It should find where everything is by using the registry, then stores
its own settings there too (in a different key!).
xlauncher is a program which lets you modify the command line given to
XWin.exe using a gui interface. There is still a lot to add, but it is a
start.
Have a look at http://xlauncher.sourceforge.net
There is a screenshot, source and binary available.
I'm unsure what license to release it under. I want to release it under
the GPL or LGPL, but it is compiled using Delphi, and incorporates a
pascal unit where the writer has released it as "freeware". Would
cygwin-xfree's modified LGPL be fit for xlauncher, or is it still a
problem been compiled with Delphi?
There is a TODO list in the source, and includes adding features
(currently can't specify a xfs server, will be the first thing to add
tomorrow), fixing bugs, writing a setup.hint line for it, etc.
I'm also working on that cut down cygwin/xfree setup for use with a
remote XDMCP server. I'll hopefully get around to getting it into a
releasable condition soon.
If you have any bugs, requests, etc, just drop me an email :)
Cheers,
Tim.
